To play 1080p content without having to spend time converting it to a lower resolution.Do you want to just run a movie and have it work, or do you want to start fiddling with conversions? heck, most people don't know how to convert, so if they have a 1080p file they want to play...

plus there is the issue of headroom and inflated advertised capabilities... i find that only things that claim to be able to play 1080p smoothly can play 720p smoothly (while typically stuttering on some 1080p content)Reply

Its standard for the cellular radio to have its own dedicated processor that does all the communication duties.The proprietary software running on this processor is supplied by the chip manufacturer and is kept a secret. Its not part of the phones main operation system (no android/ios/win7 here).Reply

I fully expect battery life to be sub-par with something like this, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't still want it in a tablet/slate form factor. I'm just not sure it's the best thing for a smart phone.Reply

Someone needs to get me excited about a dual core cell phone. I was psyched earlier this year about it, but now that I have my EVO I'm having my doubts. I travel extensively, and I'll admit, I've actually used my HDMI out to watch movies on flat screens in hotel rooms. The cool factor is there. Until we actually have micro SDXC cards (I'm calling vaporware on this... January of 2009 and we don't have any micro sdxc stuff yet folks?!?!? Come on!!)... I just don't have any interest in having 1080p content on my cell phone. I'm loving the snappy response of my 1ghz, but can't think of anything I could use more power for. We just don't have the software that needs it yet, and I wonder if it's really coming. To be honest, I always bring my netbook with me on my travels, and I'm way more excited about Sandy Bridge and Fusion with the potential for an instant four fold increase in performance. So long as I have that device, which can do 1080p with little effort... why sacrifice battery life on my cell phone? I'll gladly make the jump from netbook to a pricier notebook with performance and battery life.

Gaming... start building bluetooth controllers for phones and some SERIOUS games, and I'll buy a dual-core cell phone. I mean, high quality action adventure, FPS, RPG kind of games. I don't want to pay $3.99 for a tower defense game, they are fun, but I want to pay $10 for an awesome 3D action adventure.

Make me a believer guys, I haven't found limitations on my current platform, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. Why do I want a dual-core cell phone?Reply
